Brilio.net - Consuming vegetables regularly has many benefits for the body. Reported from nhs.uk, vegetables are a source of vitamins and minerals for the body. One of the benefits of eating vegetables every day is that it makes the digestive tract smoother and healthier. That's why many people choose to store vegetable stocks to cook at home every day.
However, vegetable stock in the refrigerator can usually last for about 5 to 7 days. After that, the vegetables will slowly wilt or turn black. Wilted vegetables are often thrown away because they are considered unconsumable.

The owner of the Instagram account @rumah_stia practiced this trick on her pok choy and carrots. The results were very satisfying. The carrots, which were initially soft, became crispy again. Meanwhile, the pok choy, which was previously wilted, became upright and fresh again.
After investigating, besides using water, you can also add ice cubes to the vegetable soaking water. If you use ice cubes, the process will be much faster.
" This method can be used for other leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, mustard greens, etc. I've tried it several times and it always works to make them fresh again. If you want it to be faster, you can also soak it in ice water! " explained the owner of the Instagram account @rumah_stia, quoted by BrilioFood on Sunday (25/8).
